Our Cave

by Adam Kellett

My empathy, spans the width of the oceans Oceans we drowned in togetherWe found our cave hollowed out And made it home Filled it with compassion

I see angels where I should recognize demonsbut with you I found the moon among the stars you are my sanctuary, my keepsake of sanityI don't always have the words to mouth, but be sure they are thereyour icy exterior masks the childish heart that I adore

I've never had someone who thinks so much like I doMy nervous disposition has me scared So close so fastAll my theatrics have you laughing So close so fast

I see angels where I should recognize demonsbut with you I found the moon among the stars you are my sanctuary, my keepsake of sanityI don't always have the words to mouth, but be sure they are thereyour icy exterior masks the childish heart that I adore

Hand and hand we go together A connection that creates serenityCraving the scene I want to mend our fearsLet's turn our cave into our world
